Visit of the archaeology museum in Val-Cenis, to discover the objects of the daily life exposed through a guided tour.

The guided tour lasts about an hour. The time it takes to measure that about 5,600 years ago, in the Neolithic period, the first farmers-breeders of Haute Maurienne settled in the Balmes cave. Discovered in the 1970s, this archaeological site is a reference point for Alpine archaeology. The objects of daily life exposed illustrate the richness of these cultures and a reconstruction of the cave immerses the visitor in the atmosphere of a Neolithic habitat. The exhibits are well lit.

Sympathique petit musée présentant le résultat des fouilles archéologiques menées à la grotte des Balmes. Présentation du contexte chronologique de l'occupation du site. Explications sur les techniques de fouilles et de datation. Panneaux explicatifs destinés aux enfants. Visite libre ou avec guide.
Également, passionnante exposition sur quelques réalisations ou expérimentations technologiques menées en Maurienne, pour permettre le transport vers l'Italie. Ingénieurs Somellier, Fell, Agudio.

Très déçue, en vacances dans le secteur en famille nous avions prévu de visiter ce musée...malheureusement fermé pendant les horaires d'ouverture
Nous n'aurons pas l'occasion de repasser un autre jour, quel dommage!

A nice tiny place, quiet and not so expensive (for me € 4,80). Was well worth the visit even though you could walk through it within a minute.
